To all those who have already enlisted as NYLESA Members: don’t miss the June event. You know the Coffee Gathering is unique! Our greatest open event, that gives the chance to meet old friends and newcomers UN spouses and UN staff in New York City, exchanging opinions, expressing concerns about living and working in the “Big Apple”.

On June 14th your presence is twice as important, because in that occasion a Special General Meeting will be held in order to elect the new NYLESA Co-Chair.

Your vote matters! Due to the resignation of the NYLESA AGM elected Co-Chair, the position is now vacant; at the June Coffee Gathering you will have to express your preference in order to fill the position for the remaining period of the current year’s mandate, from June 2017 to March 2018.

You can read hereby the SGM Agenda and the Candidates’ profile. Your presence is important, but if you can’t participate at the Special General Meeting you can cast your vote online. Check your emails, in the Coffee Gathering reminder you will find the link! (You can vote only if you are a registered member.)
